Android Developer Profile
Kanchan Vaishnav
Hi, I’m Kanchan Vaishnav, a Lead Android Developer based in Bangalore with 9+ years of Android experience. For the last two years I’ve been at Planview, where I lead the mobile team on the AdaptiveWork Android app. I work in Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines and Flow, Hilt and MVVM, and I raised the app’s crash-free session rate from 88% to 99%.
I’m also an AI-first engineer. I built our home screen from Figma using custom Claude Code skills, I run a scheduled agent for dependency and lint updates, I automated crash triage, and I use agentic code review and AI-generated tests, always with human review before merge.
Before Planview, I was Team Lead at mPokket, where I led 4 developers on a lending app with 10M+ downloads and built the payments module from scratch, including UPI Intent and Autopay. That’s why a fintech and banking role at Barclays interests me.
Outside work, I host My Android Podcast and create Android developer content. I’m available to join immediately.
